Bella's New Room

With her new wall mural, we officially got Bella's big girl room finished! We decided to leave the nursery the way it was so it's ready when we decide to have another baby. So we made-over the extra spare bedroom upstairs in our house. The first project was taking down all the wallpaper that was up. That took us a few days to do. Then we got the paint for the walls, of course I chose pink!! I painted 3 of the 4 walls and put up a green and gold wallpaper on the last one. I painted a toy box white to match the dresser we found at a garage sale. We got the new light fixture put up and a couple new shelves. My original plan was to use an antique brass twin bed that was my grandma's. We got some pink sheets and a green comforter for it. Once we got it all set up, we realized it wasn't going to work out just yet. The bed stood as tall as Isabella and we were too afraid she would fall off the bed even if we got siderails. Luckily my mom had a white crib that turned into a toddler bed so we are currently using that. I got some cheap fabric and made up some bedding for it. Once we got everything put together and the pictures up on the walls it turned out really cute!! The only thing I have left to do is paint her table and chair set white so it matches everything else. I plan on doing that when the weather is warmer. Bella loves her room and would play in it all the time if I would let her. Here are some pictures of how it all turned out:

Until next time...
